It was a womans voice. Marc and Janina looked into two throughlooking green eyes of a approximatly 1,70m tall young woman.
Dreadlocks covering her head and her small tall body was put into a leatherthing.
She did hold a weapon with a longered shaft pointedat them. A moment passed by when all them where trying to catchthe situation.
Then two other girls stepped off the shadows right and left and positioned behind the blond. both had midlong black hair also covered
in black clothings. Marc guessed all of them not older then eighteen. All three where weaponed. Still Marca nd Janina didnt felt that
they where here to rob them. .

Marc and Janina cowerd behind a from holes corroded wall. Bombhits had teared down the building and holed it like a swiss cheese.
Since they had entered the ruin, their enemy had stopped shooting. Marc tried to evaluate the situation by spying over the wall.
Anyway, he couldnt guess from which direction or from where they got attacked.
At the end of the street, he could see a broken skyscraper, from which top he guesses some shadows where moving. However, he couldnt
say if this where their attacker or just some moving birds.
“What do you think, how far are we away from the gate?”, Janina whispered.
Both suddenly turned around when a third voice was replying from behind them.
“To far away for you, and locked anyway.”.

She had no idea how long she had been falling downward, she had lost orientation about room and time entirly.
Everything was turning around and she had issues not throw out. She had also lost track of Brad.
From time to time she couldnt hold back to scream out, she then meant to hear Brads voice from somewhere
far away, without any guessing of distance and direction.
The ride down seam to become endless, until she could see a little bright light at the end of the tunnel.
The small point grow bigger quickly, then suddenly spit her out in a bright lighted room.
She did land softly but needed a moment to adopt to the brightness. Then she heard some whining benearher.
Brad was lying not far away from her and rub his head. .

Brad run with Yimo at his hand much faster than he expected. She first though he was ripping of her arm, but they both did know
they needed to get away here. She didnt know if that person was still following them, but she felt a presence, that was making
her shake. After a few Meters they had already reached the end of the corridor. Brad became nervous when he realized there was no
door here to escape. The only thing he saw was a venting slot right on the lower side of the wall in front. He kicked it and it
was becoming loose. He did take it away and a small pipe-like opening was revealiked, like a throat thas wanting to be feeded.
“I guess we have to go down there.”, he said.
He pushed Yimo towards the opening, when suddenly another set of shots hit the wall over him.
“Now or never!”, Yimo jumped right into the pipe, Brad followed here right behind.

Marc and Janina walked carefully through the open ruined roads. Feeling observed from somewhare and turning their heads everyten seconds.
They felt something was looking at them, but theycouldnt say what or where. THe had probably come five miles towards the gate, when suddenly
a stream of light hit their right side and hammered into a wall benear to them. Janina jumped aside. A few rocks and stones lying there where
her hope for coverage. Marc turned around, grabbed his gun and fired into the direction he suspected it coming from. Unfortunately he was
looking right into the bright sun.
“Damn!” he shouted, jumped aside as well to the other side of the pathway.
Another stream of light struck the ground. Brad fired again, he thought to have seen a shadow jumping on a building.
“This isnt safe!”, Janina shouted over. “Lets try to hide in this building!”, she pointing to the building right behind Marc.
He nodded. He fired again, giving Janina protection. She jumped over the road hiding in thebuilding, using a door that was standing open.
Another streamof light hit the road a meter benear Marc. He could feel the heat. He rapidly followed Janina into the shadows of the ruins..

Kisha squezed her eyes. “Damn!”, she could see them turning right. “YOu wont get far, there is no way out there.”, she put two new shells to the gun, then let it down
and followed their ways. Her eyes seamed to shimmer in dark green, like if her skindwould turn to her reptile look again, but she held it back. Itwasnt
yet time for that. But she could see them still. Even now that they where in the corridor. Her senses allowed her to look through the next couple of walls.
THey wont get far.
